Cover Story
The March cover of BfK features Dilly the Dinosaur who is 10 years old this year. Her author, Tony Bradman, is the subject of our Authorgraph this month. We are grateful to Reed Books for their help in reproducing this illustration from Susan Hellard's original artwork.
Thanks to Rachel Isadora's knowledge and experience of ballet and her enthusiasm for it, this information story both inspires and warns. It details special clothing, warm-up routines and first exercises, outlines further progression and puts into context snippets of information already acquired. It leaves us willing Lili to achieve her ambitions, grateful they've been shared with us and wondering if we, too, have what it takes... A warmly-welcomed book with precise and lovely illustrations. After reading this, most of Year 2 practised their own style 'combinations' on the way out to play!
